The Philadelphia 76ers are officially in offseason mode as they prepare to make moves in the summer that will help them when they return in the 2022-23 season. While the front office continues to try and make moves that will help them on the court, they found out on Tuesday that their president was resigning.
Chris Heck, who joined the Sixers in 2013 and has been their president of business operations since 2017, will resign after nine seasons on the job, per Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Heck oversaw operations such as Twitter, Instagram, and the team’s radio partnership with 97.5 The Fanatic.
Heck told Pompey:
“It’s time,” Heck said. “I’ve kind of done everything I set out to do except for maybe organize an [NBA championship] parade. I’m really happy with what we accomplished during the time period, but it’s on to the next chapter.”
“I made this decision back in February,” he said.
This comes after the Sixers had hired a new CEO in Tad Brown after Scott O’Neil stepped down in the summer of 2021. Heck had joined the team at the same time as O’Neil before overseeing business operations in 2017.
